  1. Milroe could be a good quarterback. But he's got a lot of areas he needs to develop in to become what Warner considers a good NFL qb. Kurt never offers an opinion of where a guy should be drafted, does he suck or rule, etc. His opinions take the form, "Here's what this guy does well and needs to improve upon in order to succeed as an NFL QB." It's both more straightforward and nuanced. He thinks Ewers has fewer flaws, and his flaws are more easily correctable, than the average Surly loudmouth/bottom-feeding NFL draft commentator.
  2. I only need two guitars. Electric, and acoustic. Might upgrade the electric to something with better-shielded internals.
  3. Yeah, that's a great example of what Warner talks about. tl;dw: 1. He has great speed and strength, but not "athleticism" as Warner defines it; Kurt defines it as being able to use your body to make throws in difficult situations. 2. He is "not a natural thrower." He uses his arm totally instead of using his body, and throws bullets when he needs to throw with touch. (Contrast with Ewers, who outside of footwork issues, is very much a natural thrower, throws very catchable balls, etc.) End result is that he's inaccurate; even when he makes the right read, his throws are off-target. 3. He doesn't process beyond his first read very often. And when he does do everything correctly, point #2 keeps him from making the throw. Only an idiot would draft him over Ewers.
  4. Fuckin FedEx somehow screwed up my zip code on those picks, too. WTF. we can THINK it super loud tho
  5. Those aren't Herco's, they're Celluloid 1mm Heavies.
  6. Update: I have G650's picks. If you want to see them alive again, send $3.50 in small, unmarked nickels and dimes @Deej is right. In the absence of being able to afford guitars, I'm collecting picks now. One of these picks is not like the others. G650's are between the weird one and the tiny red Jazz III.
  7. Well, my baby, she don't want me around. She said she's tired of watchin' me fall down. She wants the good life, only the best. But I like that bottle better than the rest. Might not even be the best opening lines on that album, or from that lyricist, but I've always loved em.
  8. Yeah, people up there DO actually care about football. 49ers, Raiders, The Game, etc. It's not like Texas at all (who is?), but not near the levels of apathy down south here.
  9. Also, almost nobody in SoCal cares about football. You'll find plenty of baseball and basketball fans, but football, pro and college, is a big fat "meh." It's even worse in the high school ranks, schools are having problems even fielding a team. My son's former school, 2000 students strong, has entire years where literally zero players come in from middle school. Other high schools just plain shut down their teams, which is how his school was still able to field one -- through transfers.
  10. that's just a sample it doesn't count 😉
  11. Some of those who work forces Are the same who burn crosses
  12. Update. Son is now 6'5". So any reduction in growth was welcome. DAUGHTER has been using meds a few years, and there's a VERY clear change in growth after she started using it. We are a bit concerned.
  13. prescient
  14. "I have a small business too, but one thing I try to do is not have my jingles suck butt."
  15. Yeah, but not "We've run out of timeline so let's send them off to the distant past/future so we can keep the franchise going" levels. like Discovery. Yeah, that was me. I think the shut-ins on Reddit did not get the joke. Star Wars remains Serious Business.
  16. "It happened to me, therefore it happens everywhere." "I never see that happen, therefore it doesn't happen." You can claim one thing and someone else can claim another. But the market don't lie.
  17. Yeah, but they probably won't go away completely. Just... mostly.
